Brandon Moreno vs. Joseph Morales set for Noche UFC 4

Brandon Moreno will face Joseph Morales at Noche UFC 4 on September 12 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, as the two-time UFC flyweight champion looks to reverse a recent skid.

Moreno (23-10-2) has lost back-to-back fights to Lone'er Kavanagh and Tatsuro Taira, winning just two of his last six bouts. His most recent outing came in February in his native Mexico against Kavanagh, a five-round decision defeat that marked another setback for "The Assassin Baby." The bout against Morales offers Moreno a chance to halt the downward trajectory that has derailed what was once a dominant run at 125 pounds.

Morales (14-2), the TUF 33 flyweight winner, arrives undefeated in his second UFC stint at 2-0, with both victories coming by submission—over Matt Schnell and Alibi Idris. The prospect has won five consecutive fights overall since departing the UFC in 2018, establishing himself as a rising threat in the flyweight division.

Noche UFC 4 will also feature former flyweight champion Alexa Grasso taking on Manon Fiorot, though the event's main event has yet to be announced. The card continues the UFC's tradition of celebrating Mexican-American fighters and culture with a premium event on the promotion's calendar.
